icy lslegraph TO tho Dispatch. J


DENVER, Col, August lS.-A Nous
special from Glenwood springs says a:
The Ne,cs special northern courier
has learned exclusively that the White
River Ute Indians have sent runners to
the Uncompshaghrs camp, Blackfoot,
Sioux, Crow, and other tribes in Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho
for aid. Colorow knows he must fight,
and that this will DO the decisive bat
tie, and that it will end the Indian
question for ever. He has determined,
it is said, to have other tribes brought
into the present difficulty, and while
the outbreak has been local 50 far, he
wants to make it national one. The
runners are reported to have started
to the camps Of other tribes from Yel-
low-Jacket Pass Sunday night. Dun
can Blair, q white ranchman who mar
ried Ute squaw and who is said to be
very popular with the Utes, is alleged
to havo stated this to be fact.

spired Bible" for enlightenment.
The creation fable did not disturb
me, nor the Eden incident but some
vague doubts did arise with the de-
LUCE and Noah's ark; it seemed q
reelection on a just and merciful
divinity. And | was not at all salts
fed of the honesty and goodness of
Jacob or his family, or their decend-
ants, or that there was any parti-
cular nerittor reason for their being
the Chosen" of God, to the detri-
ment Of the rest Of mankind; for
they 50 appreciated Gods special
patronage that on every occasion
they ran after other gods, and had a
special idolatry for the "Golden
Calf" to which some Christians
allege they are still devoted. That
God, failing to make something out
of this stiff-necked race, concluded
to send his Son to redeem a few of
them, and few of the long neg
lected Gentiles, is not strikingly
impressive to the heather.
1t may be ilattering to the Chris
tian to know it required the cruel
flxion Of God to save him, and that
nothing less would do; but it opened
up q series of differences that
makes the idea more and more in
comprehensive, and more and more
inconsistent with will, purpose,
wisdom and justice thoroughly
divine.
But when l got TO the new dis
pensation, with its sin-forgiving

that, however wicked the sinner, he

as the most God fearing-in fact
that the eleventh-hour man was
entitled to the same heavenly COM
pensation as the one who had labored
in the Lords vineyard from the first

posterous. 1t was not just, and
God is justice. - Boston Herald,

CHINESE NATURAL Gas TRADITIONS,

Two hundred years ago in China
there was just such a craze about
natural gas as we have in this coun-
try to day, says the Cincinnati Com
mercial. Gas wells were sunk with
as much vim and vigor as the Celes-
tials were capable Of, but, owing to
gas explosion that killed several
millions of people and tore up and
destroyed large district of country
leaving large inland sea known on
the maps as Lake Foo Chang, the
boring of any more gas wells was
then and there prohibited by law.
1t seems, according to the Chinese
history, that many large and heavy
pressure gas wells were struck, and
in some districts wells were sunk
vuite near to each other. Gas was
lighted as soon as struck, as is done
in this country. 1t is stated that
one we'll with its usual pressure, by
induction or back draught pulled
down into the earth the burning gas
Of q smaller well, resulting in a
dreadful explosion of large dis
trict, destroying the inhabitants
thereof. Lake Foo Chang rests on
this district. The same catastrophe
is imminent in this country unless
the laws restrict further develop
ments in boring so many wells.
Should similar explosion occur
there viii be such an upheaval as
will dwarf the most terrible earth
quakes ever known. The country
along the gas belt from Toledo,
through Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky
will be ripped up to the depth Of |
POO to 800 feet, and Topped over |
like a pancake, leaving a chasm
through which the waters of Lake |
Erie will come bowling down, filling |
the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys, |
and blotting them out forever

A ROMANCE AT LONG BRANCH.

Many persons have frequently
noticed in landau drawn by q
team of magnificent bays, with
coachman and footman, a beautiful,
middle-aged quadroon, accompanied
by well-dressed, fine-looking white
man of less than forty years.
Thereby hangs tale. Until about
six weeks ago the colored woman
was known in San Francisco as Mrs.
Massey, and she figured as an i'm
portant witness in the Sharon divorce
case. AT that time the woman lived
quietly in an unpretentious little
house, and from her mode of life it
was apparent that her means were
small. She was addicted to buying
lottery tickets, but the day she fore
swore that exciting but expensive
luxury she drew the greatest prize
of her life in the shape of a husband
both white and wealthy. Years and
years ago, when yellow fever was
epidemic in New Orleans, Mrs,
Massey faithfully nursed an aged
wealthy merchant through an attack
of the fearful scourge. This man
had a son, who was very grateful to
Mrs. Massey. About three months
ago this son, now man, sought
and found the quadroon in San
Francisco. He was ardent in his
thanks to the woman for her care of
his deceased father years ago, and
after informing her that he had
been left large fortune by that
parent proposed marriage. After
